How to choose a good, long lasting greenhouse

Not all greenhouses are the same!

The very best buy greenhouse for green gardening has to be a sustainable one, one which lasts a long time and causes no environmental problems.

There's no doubt that a good greenhouse can help you to garden more effectively. It can also be a great help if you want to grow some of your own food. Here in the UK greenhouses are especially great for ensuring that you get some kind of worthwhile tomato crop!

There are many good designs but the best tend to be the simple traditional pent-roofed and apex types and geodesic domes. A pent roof is suitable for lean-to greenhouses. An apex roof (like the roof of a standard house) is good for stand alone greenhouses.

A geodesic has many sides - typically eight or ten. They look attractive but need to be quite big if you want plenty of head space.

It's best to avoid unnecessary complexity and frills (there's just more to go wrong, or be maintained!) The shape you choose should be determined by the site you have selected in your garden and where the greenhouse will sit in relation to the sunshine throughout the day.

One advantage of lean-tos is that the heat from a south facing wall will help keep greenhouse temperatures high throughout the evening and night.

A greenhouse design which incorporates hanging bars and moveable shelving (staging) is worth considering as these can be expensive as accessories.
